AN ACT PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO SECTION 9 OF ARTICLE II OF THE DELAWARE CONSTITUTION RELATING TO LEGISLATIVE RULES OF PROCEEDINGS.

Summary

The bill changes Section 9 of Article II of the Delaware Constitution so that a house cannot suspend any of its procedural rules unless three‑fifths of its elected members agree. It leaves unchanged the existing powers to punish disorderly members and to expel a member with a two‑thirds vote. The change would make it harder for a small majority to alter the rules governing legislative proceedings.
